FAQ

I need a website on a budget. Can you help me?
Yes. In our first consultation, we will review what your needs are and help you identify what content you will need to gather to help put the site together. We can help with securing a domain name, setting up hosting and finding the best solutions for your business. Usually a Content Management System (CMS) such as Drupal works well for most business needs. This requires little setup time and you will be able to easily add content yourself and minimize the costs typically associated with building a website.

Do you charge by the hour or by the project?
We typically charge by the hour for most services provided. After the initial consultation we will provide you with a cost estimate based on your requirements for the project.

We are considering setting up our own company server(s). What are the advantages and how is this done while still keeping our costs under control?
